#livingincostarica #relocationretreat #expat 'How Do They Like Living In Costa Rica So Far?' Audris and Brian moved to Costa Rica almost exactly a year ago. They have built a fabulous home and have plans of a plush, landscaped yard and garden on their 2 acres of land. They have been visiting Costa Rica for years. How is the first year going? Have they acclimated? Are they still in their honeymoon phase? Would they do anything different? Have they faced any discrimination being a mixed race couple? These questions and soooo much more in this video. Grab a cup of coffee, buy me one.... and check it out. Especially if you're thinking you may want to live in Costa Rica as well. BUY ME A COFFEE - https://buymeacoffee.com/michaelalancr Costa Rica is known for its welcoming and inclusive culture, which extends to bi-racial expats living in the country. The diverse population and the "pura vida" lifestyle promote a sense of community and acceptance. Bi-racial expats often find that they can integrate smoothly into the local society, especially in areas with a significant expat presence. While there may be occasional challenges, such as language barriers or cultural differences, the overall experience is positive. Many bi-racial expats appreciate the country's emphasis on family, social harmony, and the relaxed pace of life, which contributes to a fulfilling and enriching experien Living in Costa Rica as an expat is a thrilling journey, far removed from the typical vacationer's perspective. Expectations often start high—with visions of tranquil beaches, lush rainforests, and a "pura vida" lifestyle. However, the reality can be a bit more complex. It's not just about sipping cocktails on the beach; it involves understanding a new culture, learning a new language, and navigating a different way of life. From tackling local bureaucracy to adjusting to a slower pace of life, the initial phase can be both exciting and challenging. Acclimating to Costa Rica means embracing the unexpected. The tropical climate is a double-edged sword: while the warm weather is delightful, the humidity can be overwhelming. Everyday tasks like grocery shopping or setting up utilities require patience and a sense of humor. Integrating into the community is essential, and it often involves stepping out of your comfort zone to build relationships with locals and fellow expats. Learning Spanish, even at a basic level, significantly enhances the experience and opens doors to deeper connections. The general change of life in Costa Rica is transformative. Many expats find themselves slowing down and appreciating the simple pleasures. The "pura vida" philosophy, which emphasizes living a laid-back, stress-free life, becomes more than just a phrase—it becomes a way of life. Health benefits are noticeable too, with the fresh food, outdoor activities, and natural beauty contributing to an overall sense of well-being. While there are hurdles to overcome, the rewards of adapting to Costa Rican life are immeasurable, offering a profound shift in perspective and lifestyle.
